A new author in the M/M genre, her first novel definitely caught my attention, and she wrote a short story in the Lead Me Into Darkness anthology that just came out!

Noelle Stevenson, Nimona

Noelle has been writing for a few TV shows, as well as the immensely fabulous Lumberjanes comic, but I think she’s at her best when she writes and illustrates. Hopefully we’ll see another series from her solo soon!

Alex really caught my attention with their debut novel, about a transgender middle school child. I hope they’ll write more books about LGBT+ for children soon, because it’s a niche that desperately needs to be filled!

Okay, this is definitely cheating if you know the M/M genre at all… because Witt-Gallagher writes a ton of amazing books under four separate pen names. Lori A. Witt is the science fiction arm of the mastermind, but I absolutely adored her debut scifi novel, and can’t wait for more under this pen name!

This book shows what it means to truly live, as opposed to just being alive, and I loved her unique voice and quirky characters. I hope Nicola’s next novel has the same great combination of text and art!

Yes, definitely cheating now… because Caitlyn’s second novel came out in September, and the third book in her Dragonsworn trilogy releases in December. But with three book published in six months, I think she still counts as “debut”, right?

Great list! I loved The Night Circus as well 🙂 And I hear great things about “Simon and the Homo Sapiens Agenda” and am intrigued by the reviews I have read of “Everything, Everything.” Totally need to check those both out!
